“Left and right are like a gas pedal and brake,” Mr. Haidt continued. “If you have a car with just a gas pedal, just progressive, it’s going to crash in a very predictable way. And if you have a car with just a brake, well, you don’t go anywhere.”

Did anyone make an enlightenedcentrism Lemmy community yet?

Most likely, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Employment discrimination suits aren’t brought by DAs or public prosecutors? And yes, in general, a DA could force out staff that refuse to comply with their agenda. That happens all the time because it is a political role. Biden doesn’t have to keep Trump appointees, same principle. But the guy at the gas station fired for voting for Biden? He can sue

Some guy made an alt to respond to your comments. Account was made like 12 hours ago lol

You made an alt account to comment on this thread bud, someone here pissed you off and I believe it was that guy

Eh, not such a significant swing on Lemmy in my experience.

You don’t have to be a protected class to file a lawsuit for wrongful termination or a biased hiring decision

Maybe the won’t… I’m not confident though

I agree with your first couple paragraphs, but I’m fairly certain denying employment solely on political belief is illegal

What’s weird is that this comment was well upvoted yesterday. I think this thread is being brigaded. At least one account was made just to comment on this thread

You don’t believe the entire artwork was about misogyny? Talk about woosh

The art clearly worked well, since you’re outraged

Then you’d miss the entire point

Art has bordered on what you’d call “trolling” for a while. Someone else in the comments referenced Duchamp’s Fountains

You’re welcome!

For-profits don’t all have shareholders. Non-profits still have boards (and with non-profits it’s at times more difficult to rid your company of toxic board members). I’ve seen non-profits that move like snails and for-profits that move like cheetahs.

And I wouldn’t really say it’s easier, no. For two companies of the same size, I don’t think it would be any different just because you’re a public company. Plenty of them don’t mind posting a loss if they defend it with investments. Investors, especially institutional ones, don’t just look at revenue. Assets, liabilities, equity, it all frames investing decisions.

Nonprofits can’t lose money. They still got bills and are motivated by revenue. I say this as someone who has worked in non-profits for most of my adult life

Can you elaborate? Not sure what this means

Probably the trauma of losing his mother in 9/11 that really did him in

Performance art is wild, often misunderstood. The entire point is to outrage men and he took the bait lol. The artist is clearly getting off on this, staging shit in even more locations because of the lawsuit.
